You might have to roll your own. If you include a "DT_WORDBREAK or " on
each line in the implementation of TButtonGlyph (buttons.pas) that refers to
"DT_CENTER ..." or "DT_CALCRECT", then your BitBtns will all wordwrap - and
everything else that uses TButtonGlyph (caveat: not sure how that might
throw out autosizing!). Unfortunately you can't override anything because
TButtonGlyph is implementation only, but you could just copy the lot and
make those trivial changes for a new button of your own design (call it
TWordwrapBitBtn and sell it on the web :).
Cheers,
Carl
